Memorial received the funding it asked for. So why is every academic unit facing cuts? MUNFA has serious concerns about the 2026-27 operating budget and what it means for faculty, staff, and the students counting on them. Read our full statement. 1/2 #wearemun

Today, on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, Biphobia, and Intersexphobia, MUNFA stands with 2SLGBTQIA+ colleagues, students and community. Every person at Memorial deserves to work and learn in an environment free from discrimination and fear. munfa.ca/news/munfa-s...

Warmest congratulations to Dr. Robin Whitaker on her re-election as @caut.bsky.social President. A faculty member in MUN’s Department of Anthropology and former MUNFA President (2017-2019), Dr. Whitaker continues to be a strong voice for post-secondary educators across the country.

Budget 2026 brings welcome relief for students - but it does not close a decade of underfunding at Memorial. The only university in NL needs sustained investment. 1/2

In 2024, Premier Wakeham said abandoning Memorial University and telling it to 'go fix your problems' was 'not good enough.' These are his own words, on the record with CBC. Budget-2026 is his chance to prove he believed them. Source in our Bio. #WeAreMUN

Provinces across Canada are investing in post-secondary education. Ontario. Saskatchewan. Meanwhile, Newfoundland and Labrador’s only university faces cuts, fewer courses, and larger classes. The NL budget is coming. This government has a clear choice to make. #WeAreMUN bit.ly/4sbzKD2 bit.ly/4tkgbsX

These are the kinds of stories we keep hearing. A course that changed someone’s life. A reason someone stayed in Newfoundland and Labrador. A degree that helped build a career, a business, a future. A hope that the next generation gets the same chance. 1/2 #WeAreMUN

Across Memorial, we are seeing the real impacts of ongoing funding cuts. Programs are changing. Jobs are being lost. Teaching and learning conditions are under pressure. The impacts are not abstract. They affect our classrooms, our colleagues, and our students.1/3 #WeAreMUN

Proposed cuts in Mathematics & Statistics would eliminate 7 of 8 teaching positions and reduce first-year course sections students depend on. As the provincial budget approaches, faculty are urging government to reinvest in Memorial. 1/2

Senate is the highest academic decision-making body at Memorial. It is where faculty fight to protect academic quality, challenge cuts, and shape the future of our university. Memorial’s Senate needs your engagement. Here’s how to take part. 1/6

Remember, mourn, organize, take action. December 6 is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada. This day marks the anniversary of the massacre in 1989 of 14 young women at l’École Polytechnique de Montréal. They died because they were women.
